It's like pissing in the wind. You fail to think that it's a bad idea until it's too late.

I can honestly say I only became aware of the wind and it's effect after spraying myself. A real world WHOA learning moment wind can and will move things.

And this ladies and gentlemen is when the parents are supposed to step out of the way and let the child engage in active learning.

My son did this exact move three time in a row. I was able to video the third and would love to share it but I dropped my phone in the toilet yesterday.

You'll probably lose 2 or 3 phones to the toilet, and your son will tape it and put it on YouTube.

i made a teeter totter out of a piece of wood and a rock. i then placed another rock on one end of the teeter totter. i wanted to launch the rock into the lake so i smashed the other end. the rock made it 2 feet before it rocked my skull.

ive also hit a basketball with a aluminum baseball bat. that failed horribly too!

ive got my head cracked open from my 2 neighbors. both on separate occasions with the same golfclub. they warned me, but i didnt think they'd do it. lol

i am so smart...smrt!

My friend pushed me off my fort at my birthday party over a girl when I was in third grade. I did not think he would do it.

After falling about 5 feet onto my back, I looked over and saw a cinder block right next to me.

Nothing ever was said about it.

I was really, really, really pretty sure that quote was from GTA Vice City, but I had to Google to make sure. Then I saw this:

I like novelty accounts, but this leaves me torn. It is irrelevant to the post and adds nothing to the conversation. I'm so sorry (MFW: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls9zc2c8271qcg4at.gif), but I can't upvote this. If you found a dinosaur related thread though, I will gladly upvote you!

[–]Rosethorns 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

How isn't it related? The dinosaur has a name which can imply that it is a moron.

The child is a moron.

They are both amusing morons.

I'm sorry, but there is a line where a joke is just forced and this is past that line. Sure, you can "make it make sense", but when you have to force a joke that hard to keep your post relevant, I see at as irrelevant all the same.

My opinion stands. If something is truly relevant to the conversation, it doesn't have to be forced. Humor is natural, not forced.

[–]Rosethorns 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wasn't joking. I was pointing out to you the relevance. Clear as day.

Not making a joke.

Clarifying it for you, without humor.

It's relevant.

[–]sentimentalpirate 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, he meant that the original post is a joke, since it's part of a novelty account. But it feels forced when he chimes in out of relevant context.

[–]Rosethorns 0 points1 point ago

isn't that the point in novelty accounts like this?

IDK about you all, but I use to enjoy playing in the dirt as a child. So I'm not sure if this is a Win or a Fail

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The shovel load of sand in the eyes and mouth probably tips it towards fail. Good fun though! I loved playing in the dirt too.

it obviously has several meanings then. clearly, the definition i found says nothing about speech having to be involved.
